Walking along the seashore, watching the waves, listening to the seagulls cawing and screeching, loving the surf thumping down. Being there with the sea almost instantly brings me inner peace , a palpable calm. Always.

It doesn’t have to be a bright and sunny day , or the sea behaving like a lake. In fact, I love the east coast lows, the bruised sky, I love the power and magnificence of huge foaming waves crashing into the shoreline, sending spumy brown froth high into the air.

I stand, and I watch, and I immerse myself in the power and the strength and the beauty of nature. And my mind is at peace.
